As far as shape and size are concerned, no changes detected, it withstood the water amazingly well. It is the beaver felt version though, at the time I ordered it, it was marked as having the highest weather resistance of all the models. The older rabbit Harrison I have does not stand up to rain so...

It's a great nasty weather hat!

Just look at that beautiful warping. As if you just climbed out the water while evading angry Hovitos.

Having never put my AdVintage through this kind of a challenge, I'm curious how it looks once dry. Good as new?

Indiana Jon

Hello all! I'm new to posting here, but I have been an Indy fan and gear head for many years. I wanted to share a photo of a fairly new HJ acquisition I ordered in 2023, from the brilliant and talented folks at Herbert Johnson: my Destiny Poet - Nutmeg Rabbit (with Sable Brown Ribbon and Branded Ol...

Indiana Jon

Welcome to the club, Rob!

Jacket looks great. Wear it in good health.

Indiana Jon

Terrific job as always, Holt. We definitely share an opinion of how gear should be done. I haven't tackled LC yet, but I will definitely refer to your work when the time comes.

"Well done, boy!"

Indiana Jon

I own a WPG and a KDG "Classic". I like them both. The WPG feels like the right thickness, but the color is on the gray side (closer to LC than Raiders, in my opinion). The KDG is a great fit for a slim build, and edges more towards brown/yellow tones. Perfect for ToD shirt if you swap out...

Indiana Jon

This is awesome! Congrats!

Indiana Jon

I think you've shared these before, but I gotta say again: dang...they are nice shots, Indiana Jon. The whip still is spectacular! :TOH: Cheers, Bear Thanks, bud! Yeah, they're old pics. I was in a hurry and they were the only shots I had available since Imgur lost all my previously resized pics. B...

Indiana Jon

I have the 2019 Lightweight WPG pants. They're decent. Some pilling after a little wear and a few gentle washes. They do take on a pinkish hue in direct sunlight, which isn't quite accurate for Raiders. https://i.imgur.com/xQIfqfi.jpg https://i.imgur.com/JSkEOJj.jpg I've since upgraded to Karolian D...

Indiana Jon

Update: the pants are now not available on the Karolin dry goods etsy, and the website is now empty? Also the pants are gone from Karolin dry goods etsy now? What are my chances of getting an exchange/refudn now? I lost a few more pounds and now the pants -almost- fit me, and i think staying on the...

Indiana Jon

Yes, yes, I think I was born with the whip-obsession-bug! :rolling: whips and swords, a lifelong 'interest' for me. By the way, I wish you a belated Happy Birthday, my friend! :TOH: Cheers, Bear :lol: Hey, we all have our sub-obsessions/specialties. It's one of the interesting things about this hob...

Indiana Jon

Ah, so you've always been this way.

Always cool to see a gearhead's early work. Thanks for sharing!

Indiana Jon

Whatever it is, I'm looking forward to the announcement. As long as they can maintain the quality and affordability (and I see no reason to think they won't), they've got my business.

I really like the backpack patches as well.

Thanks, bud! I got the patches on Etsy. Can't remember the seller.

Indiana Jon

Finally took my Fed IV on a decent adventure. It's been on quite a few day trips/hikes over the last 10 months, but last week I went on my annual camping trip at Hickory Run State Park in PA and basically wore it the entire week. https://i.imgur.com/NgNHfBX.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/tIbcC2s.jpeg http...

Indiana Jon

Love the pictures!! That bash looks really nice regardless, and I bet it’ll only get better with years and mileage! :TOH: can I ask what approximately the crown height is? Thanks for the kind words. :TOH: Feds are 5.5" open crown. The crown height on mine is 4.5", which obviously plays a ...

Indiana Jon

Here are a few shots of my Fed IV, bashed in the LC style. I have no experience shaping hats, so I paid a little more for their new(ish) shaping service and specified LC. In retrospect, I probably could've gotten it a little closer to screen accurate if I shaped in myself. They went a little crazy o...

Indiana Jon

I just got my first jacket and unfortunately I had the exact problem you did and ended up with a $300 leather crop top. I’m apparently a tall freak and need a back length of 29 and my first jacket is like a 24 https://media3.giphy.com/media/SEp6Zq6ZkzUNW/giphy.gif Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk...

Indiana Jon

I have the WPG holster. It's well made and it takes distressing and wet molding like a champ. Be advised, however, that it's very orange in color. I tried a few different methods to darken it before finally applying a mix of leather paint to mine and distressing it over again. Sounds sloppy, but the...

Indiana Jon

The shape on that Raiders looks really good. I’ve always been partial to the Cairo look for the hat, but I really like yours. And the TOD too. I was kind of a Raiders only guy for hats until I saw that one. Now I want one. I’m trying to talk myself into/out of buying two more hats that I don’t need...

Indiana Jon

Hey IndianaJon, Did you reshape your Raiders hat at all, or is that how it comes if you ask for hovito temple bash? Also, did you pick a specific scene for the bash on the TOD?really liking the sable color. I did not attempt any reshaping on my Raiders. Just roughed it up a bit. Out of curiosity, w...

Indiana Jon

I've never owned a pair of Aldens, so I can't offer a comparison. I'm somewhere between size 11.5 US and 12 US. My Wested boots are size 12 US, and they fit just fine after breaking them in. I would suggest ordering your regular size or maybe a half size up if possible.

Indiana Jon

Thanks for the kind words, guys! :notworthy: I don't think the TOD hat gets enough love, but it certainly wasn't my #1 favorite. I never would've guessed how much I'd like it on my head. I'm really happy with it. Now I'm curious how the LC, KOTCS, and DOD lids may look on my noggin. Someday maybe I'...

Indiana Jon

Dang, nice lid, Indiana Jon! Love all the shots, but the last one is the nicest. The creases on the jacket sleeves are outstanding. Thanks, bud! That's the one and only jacket I have (Wested Legacy Raiders), so you've seen it before. That's just one water treatment and a lot of wear over the last y...

Indiana Jon

I received my TOD Harrison a couple of weeks ago, and I finally got around to snapping some pics this weekend. I gotta say ... I'm in love with this lid, and not just because it's my latest acquisition. This is my second Harrison. My first is a Raiders (Hovito temple bash). Now that I have two Indy ...

imagine671 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2024 11:55 am I went for ‘True Sable’. It definitely looks a bit different depending on lighting, but I’m very happy with the colour choice. Gives it scope for fading a bit.

Good choice. My Raiders is True Sable. I think with a little age, it looks just right.

Indiana Jon

Received my AdVintage Harrison a few days back. Really enjoying the overall shape of the hat. Thomas did a great job with the LC bash. I’ve subsequently curled the brim a bit on each side as it was looking a bit big on my head. It’s also definitely quite stiff upon arrival, but I’m glad it’ll retai...

Indiana Jon

Lookin' good. Nice job on the bash. I'm no expert (my only other lid is a Fed IV), but I really like the felt weight on the Harrisons. My Raiders is a little under a year old now and it seems to have just the right amount of screen accurate "flop". As for longevity, time will tell. I don't...

I just reached out to Diego to start this process, and he gave me an estimated completion date of October 30th. Now, that was for a Cazadora '36, but I'd imagine the lead time is the same for all versions.

Indiana Jon

Indiana Jon, in which Sable color did you order your Harrison? They all look beautiful and the ToD bash look great in adVintage´s shop =P~ My Raiders (seen here: https://indygear.net/cow/viewtopic.php?t=74410 ) is True Sable. It's a very nice rich brown and pretty darn screen accurate if you ask me...

After getting my Advintage CS Hero fedora just last week this may be the most intense and fantastic Indy gear weeks I ever had with all those longtime orders finally coming in.

Seriously. What a week for you!

Congrats on your first HJ! Looks good on you.

Looks like he doesn’t do the Harrison in my size. I’ve got a huge head and need a 63.

If you're looking for a Harrison, Thomas just got restocked and he's taking orders as of Friday. I can't speak to the handmade hats availability.

Indiana Jon

Lookin' good Tremolo! The KOTCS fedora really is beautiful bash. I've always viewed it as a nice amalgam of all the others. Wear it in good health. :TOH: In other news, I've just ordered my second AdVintage Harrison to get things rolling on my TOD build. Can't wait to get my hands on it. This will b...

Indiana Jon

TBH, I am not sure when the TOD run will be if I proceed. I do have a friend who had an audience with a TOD shirt and claims the Classic is *very* close in color - but to be clear I haven't personally seen a TOD in person. Design wise the big difference would be the buttons and epaulettes. No worri...

Indiana Jon

I'm debating adding a Temple shirt this year to round out the line, but I don't want to step on Azumas toes. But it's on my mind. But please let me know if that'd be of interest. I would definitely be interested. I'm starting to put my TOD build together, and I was planning on buying your Classic a...

Indiana Jon

Lookin' good, Tremolo! That lid looks like it was made for you. Wear it in good health.

Indiana Jon

It’s really hard to tell what is a match without a better look at the adjustment wheel. But I agree with your assessment, I don’t see any loop or built-on extensions for a leather strap on the sides in the screenshot. It just looks tied through the middle. I think LeMaire is the manufacturer name. ...

Indiana Jon

I spotted these binos at a local antique fair yesterday, and they immediately reminded me of the pair Indy uses in LC. The vendor had them tagged for $65, but was willing to let them go for $40, so I jumped on it. Any serious collector probably wouldn’t give these a second look, as the leather and s...

Indiana Jon

Maybe they intended it as a nod to Raiders but then realized they needed an in-story solution to having it as it wouldn't make sense for it to reappear. Personally, my favorite nod to Raiders is the Nazi getting run over during the chase. https://www.indygear.com/mikefiles/DOD_NaziRunOver.jpg That'...

Indiana Jon

Are we meant to take it that the jacket hole in the left sleeve in Dial IS from Raiders as the article said then? Not from Basil's shooting him on the train in Germany? Until this article came out I'd been under the idea that they'd ignored the Raiders hole and gone to Shaw in the movie having shot...

Indiana Jon

Count me in the variations camp. I wouldn't change anything on the default costume, but more MOTB-type variation would've been fun.

Indiana Jon

Good eye. I guess it makes sense, given the absence of the gun belt, but it is odd. I wonder if this was an improvisation on location. You can see the hole where they removed the snap from the top of the strap, which suggests they may have modified a functional holder. Maybe they didn't have much on...

Indiana Jon

As someone interested in WWII, but who possesses only a basic knowledge of the weaponry (I recognize all the weapons you listed, so I guess that's something :lol: ) I'm interested to see the more educated responses to this. I also only know the broad strokes of the expanded canon, so forgive me if t...

Actually, I was referring to Ford's age and how it may have influenced the script or the overall approach. But I can see how that might be confusing. My wording could've been better.

Indiana Jon

I think "purposefully" is being used generously here. They probably just cropped it out of the original image poorly, didn't notice/care, and moved on. Design is all but dead when it comes to this sort of thing.

Indiana Jon

I wonder if it was meant to be a change in attitude for Indy, like he didn't have the desire to draw that kind of trouble anymore or something. Maybe even his views on death—"my friend just died." Then when he had to, to save Helena and Teddy, he used a weapon. Part of Indy being "ba...

Ahhh, you are right! It was only once in the intro, on the train I think. And once in Tangiers...

The whip should have gotten more usage too... After the intro it wasn't used at all.

He uses it in the auction scene, but I think that's the last time.
